A woman who describes herself as a vegan is suing Maccas because they didn't reveal their fries contained dairy products. You know, it violated her deeply-held principles.
Come on, love.
You were eating at Maccas.

Its a little like that nutritional information sheet they hand out. That one has always bemused me, given that it is a bit of an oxymoron, you know. MacDonalds Nutrition.
Ooh, that is funny. What I had been thinking of all day before I read your blog was the lady suing McD's because of the flour on the fries and her daughter's wheat allergy. I mean, really, the place is crawling with white bread buns; it is not safe for a celiac to enter the premises (really) let alone eat something prepared there.
But now I think about suing McD's for violating the vegan principles, and I don't know what's my favourite story!
What a conundrum.
(I just have to add this: my word verification is an actual word: prone)
Not to hijack the topic, but is celiac something that is widely known where you are? Because my sister has it and my dad has it and these here United States are positively IN THE DARK about how to deal with it. They're constantly having to explain it to slack-jawed people who assume that she's just trying to eat low carb or something and don't really believe her. Maybe we should move to Australia?
Also, did you hear the one about the beef seasoning on the fries at McDonalds and the scads of upset Hindus?
Pseudostoops, I know lots of Canadians and Americans with celiac. I find it's coming to light more up here and there are increasingly more people and establishments that are educated and can support the dietary restrictions of celiacs. But, admittedly, we have a long way to go if your friends are still hitting ignorance at every turn.

Hazel I have just added you as my mystery blog for the week. I hope you don't mind

It's all too crazy.
Thanks for the link, Alyson.
Alas, Pseudostoops, except for sensitive new age guys like me, Aussies aren't that au fait with celiac-related issues either.
It could be because both our nations are massive wheat exporters. Or it could be that nobody gives a tinker's cuss.
Pity.
